They are flexible. I have mine tied to the pole on the bar above my head and it lights up my Canvas Craft Lodge 2 man just fine. In fact, its quite bright.

The interior of my Canvas Craft is white so in a portable with a darker interior, it will be a bit less.

I can tie a small panfish jig to 4# test with the light on.

These lights are very bright in my portable.

If I can get some time tomorrow, I will try and set it up and take a photo.

But you can be assured, they are as bright or brighter than any light out these for sale of this type.

Definitely. I'd even vote for making them so that there was an easy option of connecting two or more of them end to end. I know this adds cost, but it adds a lot of options. (Sometimes you realize you need twice as much light, but sometimes you'd like to split them up into two areas or two houses...)

I have the Luminater led lights above the bar over my head. I have the AA battery type light across the back bar. I use the back AA light the most r while I am fishing.

If I want serious light to do something, then I turn on the Luminator above my head.

The luminator is too bright to fish with on over ones head as it lights the holes up way to much. Heck, when it is on, its light daylight.

With all that being stated, I do also have a white inside on my portable so it does light up a bit easier but I am without doubt that those two would do a fine job in any portable.

Thats in a 2 man too.

i just received 3 of these light I ordered 3 days ago

I Made a big T out of 1 1/4 pvc one t and 2 45 /--|--\ then hot glued the light on the ends. One would have worked fine but three is Super Super Bright. I can see everything in my clam command post. I sealed all the wires in the pvc then stuck out 2 screws for power I can put aligator clips on the screws to run down to vex or other battery. With my gell cell it should run 9 straight hours or 150 on marine battery.

I bought the LED lights that you attach to a 12V battery. Used them once, they worked pretty good but was hoping for a little bit brighter.

The next time I went out, the sun started to go down so I went to reach for the lights to plug them onto the battery. Unfortunately, like a dummy I had ripped the cord off the connectors when I was unplugging them the previous night. Sure enough, the plugs were still stuck on my battery. I'm hoping I'll be able to fix it.

One can fix that in no time. Just crimp on new ends.

The Luminator lights are brighter than the others if one is looking for alot of light. I get by in my portable with one battery style.

I also have the Luminator one in the house to but it is a bit bright.

I have ran these lights in my Otter all winter. My house gets used almost daily and some times twice a day. These lights have lasted and Im still on the same batteries on the battery pack ones. Lights are still as bright as day one.

Harvey Ill be ordering another set or 2 of the battery packed ones. Im very pleased with the performance I got from them. Thanks for getting us a great product.

I picked up one of the Luminators a couple of weeks ago and it should finally get some use tonight. I just have to figure out how I'm going to rig it up because I don't want to zip tie it to the support pole like I did with my old BHK lights.

I hung mine in the velcro on my Otter poles and then electric taped the battery pack to the pole and put some tape in between the velcro so they didnt hang so much and catch my hat all the time. They havent moved all winter and every light is still working. Im very impressed. I have had many lighting systems and this is the best I have used by far. I just cant believe the life I got on the batteries, they must have a super low draw.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
